Don’t miss the Back to School Fair on Wednesday, August 3rd. At the Back to School Fair, plan to visit informational tables, learn about PTA Fundraising efforts, learn about and register for extracurricular activities like Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Chess Club, receive bus information, receive your carpool number, register for the lottery drawing of the Mustang Extended Day Program, drop off classroom supplies, and meet your child’s teacher.

Parents and guardians are required to bring:

a copy of your current proof of residency (a current utility bill will suffice)

a copy of your photo ID for each child attending Montgomery. For example, if you have 3 children attending Montgomery Elementary, you will need to bring 3 copies of each document.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to make copies or have access to print that day. If you come to the school without the appropriate documents, you will be asked to return home and return with these materials. Once again, even if you filled out paperwork last spring, you will still need to bring this paperwork on Wednesday 8/3.

In order to accommodate all families and strive for a seamless flow, the Fair is divided into two sessions. If your last name begins with A-L, please attend the 8-10 am session; if your last name begins with M-Z, please attend the 10-12 am session. We ask that everyone attend the correct session to assure manageable traffic and parking. This will also give teachers the proper time to personally welcome each student.

Below are the school supply lists for the 2016/2017 school year. If you did not purchase supplies through SchoolKidz, please use these lists to purchase supplies for your child(ren). Bring the supplies to the Back to School Fair on Wednesday, August 3rd. Please note that there is not a supply list for the Pre-K program. If you have any questions regarding supplies, please contact the school office or Kara Gonzalez at karamario@comcast.net.

As many of you know, MES continues to be such a great school that we grow every year by leaps and bounds! However, we continue to grow, DeKalb has no long range plan for how to house students other than trailers in the parking lot. We project that after two more years, the lot will be full and our geography hampers an easy transition to using modulars in other areas of the campus. Thus, the MES School Council is asking parents to help us request an engineering study to look at our topography to see how we can use our land to more and better capacity. DeKalb Planning has told us that unless our parents campaign steadily for a study, it most likely will not happen. We will continue to see band aid solutions to long range growth issues, ones are easily predictable and need to be addressed before they arrive.

Due to this, we have a draft of a letter, complete with contacts, that would would ask every parent to send via mail or email to our board member and DeKalb officials. Due to its importance, you will receive this letter as a reminder a few times over the summer. Please take a few minutes now to let our officials know that we need an engineering study to review the best solutions to our facilities problem. Many thanks for your attention to this and please feel free to contact any School Council member with any questions or concerns. Have a safe and happy summer! Click here for the letter and the names and email addresses of those to send it to.
